deep fried pork butt????

Florida Nick: I deep fry riblets, and CHUNKS of butt...very Latin! Have never tried a whole butt, but I can tell you, the chunks and riblets are amazing!! I do a soak in a cilantro pesto first...but I guess any rub will be just fine! The only complaint I have is...I can't leave them alone!! They are even better cooled a bit!! :laugh: Seriously...try it.

A wonderful goodness of deep fried pork!! Yumm! When They can be pulled for Carnitas, but I usually simmer the pork until fall apart tender, with the garlic and cilantro. (Sheesh...yeah...you "flung" a craving on me! :blink: ) The fried chunks of pork are amazing!!
Happy TG to you and your growing family Hoss!! Hope all is well my friend! Enjoy the Holiday, and be even more blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, and those you hold dear. Hope the pork turns out as well as I expect it will!! You'll be a fried pork addict in no time... :laugh:

Nick:
I have deep fried several and they are excellent. Rub it down, drop your oil temp to about 185 and it takes about 15 minutes/lb as I remember - (it has been a while). It will come out all black and charred looking but when you cut it ....Oh YEH! One note - your oil is trash after you do this.
Try it.
